Prescribed diet suppressant? Anyone take during liquid pre-op diet?



Recommended Posts

While I was on Lindora diet program doctor prescribed tenuate diet suppressants.

I told her about my WLS and us 100% supportive and many WLS patients still stay on their maintenance program to weigh in, get B12 booster shots and purchase their Protein products.

Did anyone else continue taking an during your pre-op diet before surgery???

Or do any WLS prescribe them during the liquid diets??

I've never heard anyone speak of such a thing, they may be trying to just keep making money off of you as long as they can! You don't need any of that stuff if you're going to have or have had the GS surgery, although it's up to you and your WLS doc. Maybe this is a question for your surgeon. ?

I agree with Scottsgiel, that doesn't sound right. The whole point of WLS I'd we don't had to take pills and do weird diets anymore, we just eat a high-Protein diet from now until we die :P

Definitely ask your surgeon.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
